history

Before 1794, all localities in the administrative district of the mayor's office belonged to the Leidenborn dairy in the Dasburg lordship , which was part of the Duchy of Luxembourg . In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under French administration , the area belonged to the canton of Arzfeld , which was administratively assigned to the arrondissement of Bitburg in the department of forests .

Due to the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the former Luxembourg area east of the Sauer and Our was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Under the Prussian administration, new administrative districts and districts were formed in 1816 ; on the left bank of the Rhine, Prussia generally retained the administrative districts of the French Mairies for the time being. The mayor's office in Leidenborn corresponded to the previous Mairie Leidenborn.

The mayor's offices of Eschfeld , Harspelt and Leidenborn were already administered jointly by the Leiden mayor in the second half of the 19th century, but remained independent administrative districts. In 1906 a new official building for the mayor's office was built on the north-western outskirts of Leidenborn.

Like all the mayor's offices in the Rhine Province , the mayor's office in Leidenborn was renamed “Amt Leidenborn” in 1927. Finally, in 1936, the Leidenborn office was dissolved and, together with other offices, incorporated into the Daleiden-Leidenborn office, which was newly formed at the same time .

Heckhalenfeld and Heckhuscheid are now administratively part of the community of Prüm , the other localities to the community of Arzfeld in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
